Yep; you have confused APIC and ACPI by the looks of it.
APIC stands for Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller; on an Intel
MP compliant system you have one per cpu (usually in the CPU itself),
plus one (or more) to handle IO interrupts from devices.
ACPI is for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface, which is a
hardware spec for a new power management system to replace the old APM
stuff.
